SUNSET OVER VINTON, LOUISIANA
The sunset over Vinton oh, what a sight to see. Reminds me of the people there and what they mean to me
I haven’t known them very long yet a lifetime it seems you see For Vinton’s just that kind of town where folks can live their dreams
A friendly town, to say the least where folks work hard each day And everyone knows everyone that’s quite a town I’d say
Their radiant faces, hearts of love bring smiles to every face... Yes, this sunset over Vinton is as beautiful as this place... by Mary Manard
